Start your field trip right, at Lion Coffee, the very place where beans are roasted and bagged, packaged and shipped, and if the wind is just right, you’ll smell mac-nut beans roasting from blocks away. They’ve been doing it since 1969, originally located in Kaka’ako and later moving to Kalani Street. The facility offers tours at the half-hour, a full-service coffee bar with free Wi-fi, and free, on-site parking. Try the chai tea latte if any of their daily specials don’t suit your foggy-headed needs.
